Gold\u2019s correction was strongly driven by progress in de-escalating the military conflict in Ukraine. Following last week\u2019s meeting between D. Trump and V. Putin in Alaska<\/a>, the U.S. president declared that bilateral talks between V. Putin and V. Zelenskyy are being arranged, and that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine\u2019s security if a deal is reached<\/a>. The global silver price fell by 1.4% from August 13 to August 19, reaching $37.98\/t. oz. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the easing of global geopolitical tensions contributed to silver\u2019s correction, a steeper decline was avoided thanks to the sharply increased probability of U.S. interest rate cuts. Based on current market trends, there is as much as an 83% probability<\/a> that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates at its next meeting (September 17). Such a decision would likely trigger corrections of the U.S. dollar exchange rate and increase the attractiveness of dollar-denominated precious metals (gold, silver, etc.) for foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The global palladium price fell by more than 1.6% from August 13 to August 19, reaching $1,118\/ t. oz. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The global copper price slipped by about 0.3% between August 13 and August 19, reaching $9,748\/t.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the short term, corrections in this industrial metal are being driven not only by U.S. exemptions on copper import tariffs<\/a>, but also by specific supply disruptions. At the end of July, due to rock collapse, operations at El Teniente \u2013 the world\u2019s largest underground copper mine \u2013 were temporarily suspended<\/a>. It is projected that these disruptions will reduce El Teniente\u2019s copper output by 20,000\u201330,000 tons<\/a> in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11215,"template":"","izvalgos_categories":[46],"class_list":["post-11232","izvalgos","type-izvalgos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","izvalgos_categories-market-reviews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos\/11232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/izvalgos"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"izvalgos_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izvalgos_categories?post=11232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Although this progress in geopolitical de-escalation reduces gold\u2019s attractiveness as a safe-haven investment, sharper corrections were avoided due both to the continuation of active military operations in Ukraine<\/a> and to the problematic situation in the Middle East. As Israeli forces continue their offensive in the Gaza Strip, the aggression has been increasingly condemned not only by politicians from various countries<\/a> but also by Israeli citizens themselves<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/novitera.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ekrano-kopija-2025-08-19-124800.png\")
